Evolution of a large periplasmic disk in Campylobacterota flagella facilitated efficient motility alongside autoagglutination

Abstract Although the bacterial flagella of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica are distributed around the cell body, many bacteria instead place their flagella at their poles.
